Deep Dive in cooperation with & EACC Florida - Decarbonization of Transportation | Gzim Ocakoglu First Counselor on Mobility and Transport at the Delegation of the European Union to the US in Washington D.C | EU’s Green Deal | EU - US cooperation & the Ukraine-Russia war

Blue Forge Media — Sun, 17 Apr 2022 08:49:22 -0400

Gzim Ocakoglu, First Counselor on Mobility and Transport, Delegation of the European Union to the US (Washington, DC). Gzim explains how decarbonization of transportation is happening across the European Union and what that means. He discusses the goals of the EU's Green Deal, how the European Union and the United States are cooperating, and some of the differences and similarities. Finally, he touches on how Russia's aggression in Ukraine affects the EU decarbonization efforts. The EU aims to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The EU's Green Deal includes an ambitious package of measures to reach that goal, such as cutting greenhouse gas emissions, investing in cutting-edge research and innovation, preserving Europe's natural environment, and more. Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities. Road transport is by far the biggest emitter accounting for more than 70% of all GHG emissions, followed by maritime and air. Decarbonization of transportation – road, air, and maritime – is a key component of the EU strategy. In the United States, transportation surpassed electricity as the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2017, so decarbonizing the sector is key to addressing climate change. President Biden's initial proposal in the American Jobs Plan has been scaled back significantly in negotiations, and it remains to be seen how the recently passed Infrastructure Bill will help address the President's energy and climate strategy when it comes to transportation.

Taxes & Business | Transatlantic Taxation w Oliver Sureau CPA and Partner at JADE Fiducial & EACC Florida | Doing business in the US and EU & Taxes! - Differences, challenges, recent developments, COVID impact, FATCA, looking to the future

Blue Forge Media — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 08:22:40 -0500

The accounting and tax landscape which multinational businesses must navigate is increasingly complex with on-going changes to legislation as well as greater scrutiny from authorities on compliance and enforcement. These developments have been exacerbated by the global Pandemic with new changes to accounting and tax in many jurisdictions. These include new legislative proposals here in the United States, in the EU, other European countries as well as at international level. For example, the UK government recently announced changes to employee National Insurance contributions to recoup some of the increased spending during the pandemic. And Sweden recently implemented the ‘economic employer’ concept leading to further registration and reporting responsibilities for some corporates and placing pressure on foreign organizations wishing to incorporate and operate in the jurisdiction, especially if they seek to use temporary foreign workers.
